    Ooo, impressive one-line reviews. How succinct of you! Not sure I could do it.

    I’m actually eager to read XVI. It sounds amazing. And of course everyone on the planet loves Across the Universe, so that’s still on my TBR list.

    Dogsled Dreams is new to me. Another one to add to the list. Thanks, Caroline!

    Great reviews! I haven’t seen ‘Dogsled Dreams’ before and will look out for it. Have you read ‘Winterdance’ by Gary Paulsen? It is one of my favorite books of all time.
